Statistics of different versions of Windows in November 2021
One of the reasons for the increase in Windows 11 market share in November is due to Microsoft’s recent decision to make it available on more devices that are eligible to receive Windows 11. The wider release of Windows 11 has been made possible by Microsoft’s use of the latest generation of machine learning models to steer it into more compatible devices and fix some of the operating system’s underlying bugs. However, due to the gradual release of Windows 11. It is not yet possible to upgrade to this version for all eligible users.

Therefore, the statistics of older windows such as Windows 7 are not seen in it.
Why should we upgrade to Windows 11?
As you know about all new operating systems, there are a few shiny reasons to upgrade. One of the most notable changes with Windows 11 is how it looks. The Start menu is no longer in the bottom-left corner of your screen, but it is in the center. The Taskbar is now centered at the bottom of the screen, making it look similar to the Dock on a Mac. And Also it has a cleaner look (no more Live Tiles). You’ll be able to access your personalized Widgets directly from the Taskbar, too.
As far as features, you’ll be able to install and run Android apps natively on Windows 11. The gaming experience will be all-around better thanks to a new Xbox app support for features on Xbox consoles. Such as Auto HDR and DirectStorage, which should make games look better and load faster. And Microsoft Teams is going to be more easily accessible (directly from the Taskbar) and integrated into more apps.
Faster Performance, More Security
Speed improvements are coming to web browsing, signing in with Windows Hello, and waking from sleep. Windows updates will be 40% smaller and more efficient and occur in the background. More efficient energy use will mean longer battery life. Windows head Panos Panay also said that Windows 11 would be the most secure version yet. One sign of this is that the new OS will require PCs to have a Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM) security chip and Secure Boot capability.
So perhaps the best reason to upgrade, however, is to be on track for further feature and security updates.
